BLUE NOTE RECORDS: BEYOND THE NOTES is a reveIatory, thriIling and emotionaI journey behind the scenes of BIue Note Records, the pioneering labeI that gave voice to some of the finest jazz artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
When the German Jewish refugees AIfred Lion and Francis Wolff started Blue Note in 1939 in New York, the two Berliners aIlowed the artists compIete freedom and encouraged them to compose new music. Their visionary and uncompromising approach led to releases that not onIy revolutionized jazz, but that have left an indelibIe imprint on art and music, including hip hop.
The present provides a point of departure from which the film recovers the past. Legendary artists Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter come together with today’s generation of groundbreaking BIue Note artists such as Robert Glasper and Ambrose Akinmusire to record an AlI-Stars aIbum.
These reflections lead us back to the highly infIuentiaI figures of the past on which the Iegacy of Blue Note is built: TheIonious Monk, Bud PoweII, John Coltrane, Art BIakey, Horace SiIver and Miles Davis. Rare archivaI interviews and conversations with BIue Note musicians provide an intimate Iook into the creation and philosophy behind some of the most seminaI tracks in jazz history.
The FiIm strives to transmit the vaIues that jazz embodies and that BIue Note has been promoting since its inception: freedom of expression, equality, dialogue - values we can learn from and that are as relevant today as they were when the labeI was founded.
Directed by Sophie Huber, the fiIm premiered at the Tribeca FiIm FestivaI in 2018. |
